Colts would have won wildcard round

[coltsorioles]

Houston vs Oakland might be the worst playoff game ever. All the colts had to do was beat Houston once.  Houston was outscored by 50 points this year. Colts would have beat Oakland then probably would have lost at New England . I can't even watch Oakland vs Houston, right now they are unwatchable. 

[Colts_Fan12]

Well we suck and instead got swept by them 

[Jackie Daytona]

would have won wildcard round?  We didn't show well against either of them, and nearly got swept by Jax

 

[21isSuperman]

We got swept by Houston and we'd only beat the Raiders because they wouldn't have Carr

[Bravo]

I wish this Colts team was as good as some posters on here like to think they were.

[NannyMcafee]

I would rather the colts try and make the playoffs and fail like they just did this season so we can maintain our "winning mentality" while also having a decent draft position and a new staff. Like what is about to happen. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I think what the OP is trying to say is, we would've had a good shot at beating Oakland and I agree. Since when is winning the Division and winning 1 Playoff game a bad thing? Are we that spoiled of a fanbase now that anything less than making the SB is a Bad season? I am about winning the SB but man only 1 team does it every season, enjoy wins when you can get them and respect what we have accomplished in the past which is far more than 80% of the other franchises have.

I mean they probably would have but only cause Carr is out.

 

Also, this is a team that lost to Brock Osweiler TWICE. I don't think I'm gonna guarantee them anything.

And dominated the Packers for most of the game, and blew the doors off Minnesota and the Jets. This team was a riddle all year. I think, had they snuck in somehow they win at least the wildcard round. Probably nothing beyond that.

In reality the AFC looks like a joke minus the Patriots and I could see Seahawks/Giants/Cowboys or the Falcons making it to the Superbowl.  

[IinD]

The part that sucks is we're usually there so the playoff start is exciting.

 

I couldn't care less honestly and will only watch if I'm not doing anything when they're on. No way I'm making 'plans' to watch if my team isn't in it. I'll watch if it happens to be on.

 

Afc tournament got shafted with Tenn/oak losing there qbs.

Post of the New Year so far right here.

We could have just as easily gotten blown out.

[The Fish]

The offense has problems, but if this team didn't have a historically bad defense, they'd probably have a chance to prove to the OP that they could win a playoff game..

This D is really a tragedy or something like that. I'm sure a 2nd stringer with a solid RB could pull out the W.

 

If next season is to be any different, GM, HC changes or not, they've got to do something about the D. I can't stress enough how awful they are. It's almost comical, except I root for them. 

Puke.

It's not a bad thing, but it's also not what happened.  If they won their division and won a playoff game, they most likely wouldn't be a bad team.  But they are a bad team.  So they didn't do that.  Even though they have the benefit of playing in the worst division in the NFL.  Because they're a bad team.

[AZColt11]

The Colts COULD have won it but to say they deserved to be there would be a gross over-statement.  They deserve to be right where they are.

Last I looked 8-8 is Average, that is far from being Bad. Try again. Also some people around here have a strange idea what is Bad/Average/Good/Great. Some people think we are Bad if we don't win the SB, I am on here more than you are and read a ton of posts, so when I Post something I don't just Post to spout off.

[sfergson727]

The Colts would have been 16-0 if they had won every game.  But they didn't, did they?

When I look at how we lost, yes, we were bad.  8-8 is bad.  Good teams don't play the way the Colts did this year, bad teams do.

Oh, well, in that case, I concede.  You win.  The Colts would have won the Wild Card round.

No need to concede, you are the one who quoted me and my Original Post was to someone else just saying to them = since when is winning the Division and winning a Playoff game a bad thing? I Posted that because some people here act like what is the purpose of winning the Division and winning a Playoff game. I mean really? So if we don't win the SB what is the purpose of a season then period? That was my point.

To who else, though?  It seems like you just constructed a straw man to knock down.  I don't see anywhere in this thread where anybody said that winning the division and a playoff game would be a bad thing.  I see one post where somebody suggested that it would be better for the Colts in the long run to not make the playoffs this year, but even he isn't arguing that the season would be a failure if they did make the playoffs and win a game.  I see lots of posts in which people are questioning whether or not the Colts are actually good enough to win the Wild Card game.  (I would count myself among those people.)  I don't see anybody suggesting that winning the division and winning a playoff game would be a bad thing, though.

[Superman]

Too bad they were 0-3 against those two teams, otherwise they'd be in the game themselves...

You win I concede, so much for my point going over someone's head.

I wouldn't bet on this Colts team against anyone.  Too inconsistent.

The Packers stunk when we played them.  They were in the middle of a bad losing stretch.  Minnesota started 5-0, and finished 3-8.  Fools gold.

8-8 in a bad division is a bad team.  Also, no one really cares how many posts you read, and there's no way for any of us to quantify how often someone is on here.
